Lakeland Nursing & Rehab

Lakeland Nursing & Rehab sits in a 105-bed building and provides care for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term stays, and they have a 39-bed dedicated rehabilitation unit with its own private entrance so people who need specialized therapy can come and go with ease, and folks can choose from private or semi-private rooms that have their own restrooms, closet, and vanity space, which helps keep things comfortable whether someone's staying a short time or needs more permanent care. You'll find licensed nurses and personal care staff who are available around the clock to help with medication, recovery, and daily living needs, and there's a team that includes registered dietitians, therapists, and physicians who focus on resident health, safety, and nutrition, and you won't have to go far for services like dialysis, x-rays, dental care, pharmacy, and even a beauty shop for haircuts or simple trims. The facility provides memory care, respite care, and mental health services, and there's a strong focus on recovery through programs for orthopedic, neurologic, pulmonary, and wound care, plus physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and the staff runs activities to keep residents' days engaging, along with laundry and housekeeping to keep rooms tidy. The building has a pretty outdoor courtyard where folks can get fresh air, and the dining program tries to give everyone a pleasant meal experience guided by dietitians, though inspection records show there've been issues in the past with nutrition standards, infection control, nurse staffing, and resident rights, which are listed in public reports, showing that while care is attentive, like most places, it faces challenges. Lakeland maintains Medicare and Medicaid certification and follows CMS oversight, and the average staffing includes about 3.39 nurse hours per resident per day, with some staff turnover to note, and the facility is managed by D&N, LLC and is connected with other nursing homes in Jackson. Overall, Lakeland's approach is about helping people regain independence when possible, offering a range of medical and personal services so that folks have the support they need while keeping some of the comfort and routine of home, and families will want to read inspection reports for a full view of how care is delivered here, since like many facilities, Lakeland's had both strengths and areas where it's working to improve.
